MAXAM reloading gun powders for rifled bore barrels

Introduction

MAXAM smokeless powders are well-known and have been appreciated for many years by hunters and shooters worldwide for their cartridge reloading needs.

By publishing these ballistics tables and annexes, MAXAM continues to contribute to those who choose to use our smokeless reloading powders for rifled bore cartridges. For the small private reloaders, MAXAM has now introduced containers with 500g.

Our powders are made from stable nitrocellulose in a gel form which then passes through a treatment to regulate their porosity. Then, through extrusion, they turn into circular or small square particles with medium-low gravimetric density (CSB, PSB+, and SSB+) or into small cylinders with hollow centres with high bulk density (GSB 146 and GDB 111).

The small particle size makes them easy to dispense.Gelatinisation is done with a solvent that evaporates similar to CSB, PSB+, SSB+, and GSB 146, which are all single based.For GDB 111, which is a double base powder, nitroglycerine is also used as a fixed solvent.

Combustion is standard and waste left in the barrel,with the correct dose, is practically zero.The main physical and ballistic characteristics aresummarised in the following table using 12 gauge as the standard size reference.

The tests were performed in manometric barrels according to CIP standards, equipped with a piezoelectric pressure gauge and an initial velocity gauge.

The minimum and maximum dose has been adjusted to obtain a pressure of between 75% and 95% of the CIP limit.

We recommend that you start reloading by reducing the dose by 10% of the minimum value.

Exceeding maximum values will lead to increased pressure above the safety limit.

In general, pressure increases depending on:

1. The primer’s power.2. The powder’s dose and the shot weight. 3. The sectional density of the powder.4. The charge density and depth of the bullet in the shell.5. The force exerted on the diameter of the bullet.6. The sectional density of the bullet.

Generally, as the shell size increases, the dose increases.

With the same primer the ignition is greater when the shell and reload capacity are reduced.

Selected components have been used but it is very important to remember that different com-ponents along with barrels with different diameters or different lengths can generate significant variations in pressure and speed. Also this can happen if guns are used instead of test barrels.

The 9x19 calibre dose can be adapted to the 9x21 calibre, but not vice versa.At an equal maximum height and other conditions, the trajectory of the bullet before reaching the rifled barrel is lower for the 9x19 calibre and this implies that equal dose powder start at a lower volume compared to 9x21 calibre creating higher pressure.

7. The ratio between the diameter of the bullet and the diameter of the bore’s rifled gaps.8. The ratio between the bore’s diameter and the hollow sections of the rifled barrel.9. The relationship between the length of the shell inside the rifled barrel and its diameter.10. The hardness of the bullet’s material and the friction between the bullet and the bore’s steel.

6

Increasing powder volume, because of a longer shell, does not always reduce pressure. It makes a bigger difference if the bullet’s path is reduced before arriving at the grooved barrel.

As a general rule, speed varies based on pressure increasing as the parameters indicated in points 1 to 5 increases and decreasing as the parameters increase as in points 6 to 10.

With all other conditions equal and with minimal deviations (within 5%), pressure percent increa-ses in absolute values as well as the percentage increase in bullet mass and twice the percen-tage increase of powder.

Inversely, pressure lowers as shell volume increases along with powder. If the powder dosage were increased, there is a similar absolute value but in an inverse direction in relation to the percentage increase of the powder volume available in the shell.

Inversely, if you increase the shot weight, speed decreases. For example, if the powder dose and the bullet weight both increase more than 5% there is practically no variation in speed; whe-reas, the pressure would increase more than 15%. If the volume of the shell is also reduced by 5%, the pressure would increase by more than 20%. This would be the case if one were to change to a lighter shot to a heavier one of the same kind; for example, a 9x21 calibre using a 130 copper grain bullet instead of 125 zinc-plated grain, at equal total height of the cartridge, carries a mass increase of 4%.

The increased pressure, if the powder dose is not at a maximum level, will also result in at least 7% but the speed will be reduced to less than 4% by the higher load density.

7

If you want to leave the pressure unchanged, you have to reduce the powder dose to at least 4%, leaving the load density almost unchanged with a reduced speed of at least 7.5%.

IIt must be pointed out that these values are suggestions: in the case of large variations, the effect on the pressure will be much greater with could put the user in serious danger. For example, reducing the shell’s volume available for the powder will result in a non-linear, hyper-bolic dependence. For the same gauge, using a heavier bullet must involve a significant reduction in powder dose with a consequent reduction in speed. Alternatively, If you want to maintain speed, you will need to use a slower burning powder. In addition to increasing the powder’s temperature so does the pressure and speed; the effect is double the energy content of the propellant and the burning rate.

The opposite happens when the temperature is reduced.

Any variation to the loading dose from the following table should be tested in a manometric barrel by skilled operators.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS GENERAL SAFETY

1 Can I reload my own ammunition?

Depending on the laws in your country, it may be possible and even fun. However, it is crucial that you take extreme caution during the reloading process. It is imperative that you follow the instruc-tions and specialised texts from the products’ manufacturers, particularly in relation to safety proce-dures and the powder measurements.

2 What do I need to reload my own ammunition?

First of all, it is essential that you have accurate scales to measure the powder in order to con-trol the proper dose. Additionally, depending on the load you want, you will need volumetric feeders and equipment to crimp the plastic shells or the necessary tools to load and close the metallic cartridge. There are reloading kits available for purchase which include the essential tools, tools for proper dosing and measuring instruments.

3 How do I select each component?

It all depends on what you want to reload.For plastic cartridges for smoothbore weapons, you will need empty shells, primers, powder, wads (made of plastic or other material) and the shot, buckshot or slug.For metallic cartridges, you will need the shells, primers, powder and desired gauge that you have to load.Always keep in mind that, in your country, there may be maximum limit for active/live cartridges.Apart from powder, you are able to purchase components from different manufacturers through your trusted gun shop or over the Internet.

4 Can I reuse used shells?

Plastic shells may be used up to 3-4 times, depending on their use and deterioration. A reloading press will be needed to load used shells which will push out the fired primer out, insert a new primer and crimp the cartridge.For metal cartridges, in addition to reloading equipment to replace the used primers, you will need the correct tools to insert and set the bullet.

65

5 What are the main steps to follow to reload used shells?

External and internal cleaning; recalibration, open/widen the opening, replace the primer, measure and load the powder; and then:For smoothbore guns with plastic shell: insert the wad, the shot or slug, and then close and crimp the shell.For rifled bore metal ammunition, insert and close the bullet.Metal shell ammunition requires an external lubrication before recalibration to avoid it becoming lodged in the barrel.If this were to occur, a special tool is needed to dislodge the shell. Reusing this shell is not recommended.

6 How do I choose the correct dose for the load?

It is always a good idea to start with a dose of 10% to 15% lower than the limits established in the Loading Tables. This is mainly for safety reasons given that there are many variables which influen-ce components, especially with the powder and in this way it is easier to measure the correct amount of powder.

7 How have the results in these Loading Tables been obtained?

Tests were conducted in manometre barrels which are equipped with speedometers (measured at 2 metres from the opening) and a piezoelectric pressure gauge.

8 Can I measure the speed myself?

To measure pressure, you would need a manometre barrel with a piezoelectric sensor which is very expensive and difficult to obtain. Additionally, there are chronographs avai-lable on the market which can be used to measure speed near the opening which are very accurate.

9 Do atmospheric changes affect components?

Single base powders (like the majority of MAXAM powders) are strongly affected by temperature and more so by humidity. Low temperatures and high humidity decrease the powder’s performan-ce; whereas, high temperatures and low humidity result in more effective results. For this reason, you should always store powders in sealed containers and in places with controlled temperature and humidity.

66

10 Does barrel length affect precision and speed?

Barrel length does not affect pressure; whereas, within certain limits, velocity increases with barrel length. However, it is good to remember that in the case of an insufficient load, the wrong primer, or a slower powder dose, pressure (which normally develops its peak within or near the chamber and then slows very quickly) reaches its maximum speed at the end of the barrel determining what is called a long fire. It is very rare but, in some cases, bulging in the barrel may occur.

11 Where should reloading components be stored?

Follow the laws of your country. Always keep them out of reach of children and in a cool, dry place.

12 Can I mix different powders?

Never mix powders. Always keep powders in their original containers to avoid confusion because, even though they look similar, many powders have very different behaviours.

13 What should I do before starting the load? Always check the tools you will use. Do not put a load in if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs or if you are in an anxious state of mind. If you find powder in the dispenser or out of its pac-kaging, never use it.

14 What should I do while loading? Wear safety goggles and always be very aware of what you are doing. If you load using volume dispensers, do regular checks on powder and shot weight.

15 What should I do upon finishing reloading?

Check that the dispensers and scales are clean and empty, return components to their original pac-kaging and thoroughly clean your work area and surroundings using antistatic tools. Finally, wash your hands thoroughly.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR RIFLED BARRELS

16 Does the volume of the shells influence ballistics?

Very much so. With all other conditions constant, the smaller the volume, the greater the speed and especially the pressure. It is always advisable to measure the internal volume of the shell, especia-lly when changing brand or using military surplus. This can be done easily by filling the shell to its limit with distilled water and weighing it.

17 Does the distance between the grooves in the rifled barrel influence the internal ballistics, for example, maximum pressure?

No. With normal rifled barrels used in the production of small arms, the effect is negligible. The path through a rifled barrel contributes to the stability of the projectile in flight (external ballistics). Com-paring two barrels with different distances between grooves and attributing this to the difference in pressure and speed is a mistake.

18 How do barrels of the same calibre often produce such different speeds, especially rifles?

Often the difference is due to the distance between the chamber and the start of the grooves in the barrel. Also the diameter of the barrel’s borehole can have a big impact on performance but this rarely occurs.

19 Does the total length of the cartridge influence the internal ballistics?

It depends on the specific dimension, the gauge’s capacity and the varying entity. For example, a pistol calibre difference of 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm can have an effect of even 20% on the maximum pres-sure; whereas, the same difference for a rifle calibre, where the length is much greater, will be very small or negligible.

20 Does the total length of the cartridge influence the accuracy of the rifle calibres? Does a longer length result in better concentration of the bullets?

Not always since a longer cartridge may improve alignment with the axis of the chamber and the bore. In general, it is in good practice to keep the bullet’s nose near, but not touching the beginning of the grooves. A separation of 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm is recommended.

21 Should I use a vibrating polisher to treat the shells?

It is not necessary. But you should clean and lubricate the shells before recalibration to remove any remnants from a previous combustion and the abrasive particles that can damage or scratch matri-ces and shells.

22 Why should I lubricate shells?

Lubrication allows the shell to enter the chamber and ensures that recalibration is uniform. Some pistol shells, such as cylindrical ones, do not require lubrication if a tungsten chamber is used. Not using lubrication in rifle shells can result in it becoming jammed in the chamber.

23 How do I remove a stuck shell?

It is recommended to have a removal tool and follow its instructions. With the right tool, extraction is much easier and does not damage the chamber.

24 How I can know if there is too much lubrication?

When this occurs, usually a ridge or a depression on the side of the shell will form. The instructions on the lubricants’ packaging can determine the exact amount.

25 Should I cut the shell every time I reload and how do I know the length it should be?

No, it is not necessary to cut each time. The Reloading Handbook shows the specifications of the cut length (“adjust to” length) indicating the minimum length of the shell which is enough to hold the bullet.

26 Should I clean the primer base?

It is not mandatory but cleaning allows the primer to fit correctly and helps prevent percussion defects due to incomplete collapse.

27 Can I replace air rifle primers with primers from handguns?

No. You should always adhere to the information for the cartridge you want to load and use only those components that are indicated for that cartridge. These have been widely tested and ensure that the reloading data is not dangerous. Adhering strictly to the information guarantees a safe and problem-free reload.

28 If the bullet has sunk too deep, do I have to dispose of the cartridge?

No, all you will need is a kinetic extractor hammer and follow the instructions given by the manufac-turer.

29 After checking my finished cartridges, I noticed that in some of them the primer protrudes out slightly in the back. Can I correct it by using a primer inserter?

Absolutely not! It may cause the accidental firing of the cartridge. You must use an extractor to remove the bullet and powder and only then replace the primer. Controlling the primer position must be performed immediately after the insertion operation.

30 Can I use bullets removed or salvaged from old military surplus?

Yes, but it is forbidden to use tracers, armour-piercing, or incendiary bullets. The bullet must have the correct diameter and the right weight for your cartridge and powder to be used.

31 A bullet fell nose first and now the nose is deformed. Can I still use it?

Yes, it can still be used, although a deformed bullet may be less accurate than a normal one.
